%N Denominators of continued fraction convergents to sqrt(577).
%C From _Michael A. Allen_, Dec 02 2023: (Start)
%C Also called the 48-metallonacci sequence; the g.f. 1/(1-k*x-x^2) gives the k-metallonacci sequence.
%C a(n) is the number of tilings of an n-board (a board with dimensions n X 1) using unit squares and dominoes (with dimensions 2 X 1) if there are 48 kinds of squares available. (End)
